- 3 small boneless sirloin steaks
- 2 yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 small slightly stale baguette, cut into 1” pieces
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup walnut halves
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 garlic clove, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for cooking
- 2 heads romaine hearts, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles
- Salt and pepper
Directions
- Rinse the steaks and pat dry thoroughly. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside. You can Sous Vide them instead of cooking in a pan, which is my preferred method.
- Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring constantly, for 7 minutes. Add in 2 teaspoons honey and sprinkle with a little salt. Continue to stir for another 5 minutes until it’s caramelized and golden brown. Set onions aside in a small bowl and wipe out the pan with a paper towel to use later.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Place the baguette pieces in the center and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic powder and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss on the pan to combine, and then spread out into a single layer. Bake for 10 minutes total until golden brown, tossing and turning pieces halfway through.
- Add walnuts to the medium non-stick pan over medium heat. Toast, stirring constantly, until lightly browned about 5 minutes. Remove walnuts to a small bowl and set aside. Wipe out pan again and turn up the heat to medium-high.
- Add 1 tsp. olive oil and the steaks to the hot pan and sear until steaks reach a minimum internal temperature of 132°F -145°F, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing into 1⁄2” slices (slice against the grain).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic clove, honey and ¼ cup olive oil. Add the romaine lettuce, walnuts, tomatoes and blue cheese. Toss to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- To serve, pile a bed of dressed salad on each plate. Arrange steak slices over the salad and garnish with caramelized onions and croutons on top. Enjoy!
